In Ireland people will often use the verb "to salute" to mean "to wave" or "to lift one's index finger off the steering wheel in greeting to a passing driver".

I realised today that I don't think I've ever heard a non-Irish person use the word for anything other than:

(a) a military salute

or

(b) in the figurative sense - a homage

I can't be sure though. Does anyone from anywhere else say things like "He saw me but he let on that he didn't know me! He didn't salute"?
